How to: Delete Endpoints from System Diagrams 

In System Designer, you can delete proxy endpoints from the current system definition. However, to delete endpoints on members of the system definition, you must delete them from the diagrams that define those members.

For example, to delete an endpoint from an application that is a member of a system definition, delete it from the application diagram. Any connections to that endpoint are also deleted from the application diagram.

Deleting an endpoint also deletes the following items from all open system diagrams:

  • References and connections to the deleted endpoint.

  • Any proxy endpoints and delegations associated with the deleted endpoint.

If any references to the deleted endpoint appear on closed system diagrams, those references are removed when you open those diagrams.

For more information, see Considerations for Deleting Applications and Endpoints from System Diagrams and Considerations for Deleting Applications from Application Diagrams.

To delete a proxy endpoint from a system definition

  1. On the system diagram, select the proxy endpoint that you want to delete.

  2. On the Edit menu, choose Delete.

    Tip

    You can also press the DELETE key or right-click the application or system and choose Delete.

To delete the underlying definition of an endpoint in a system definition

  1. On the system diagram, choose one of the following:

    • For an application endpoint, select the application and choose Go To Definition from the Diagram menu.

      Tip

      You can also right-click the application and choose Go To Definition.

    -OR-

    • For a system endpoint, select the system and choose Open in System Designer from the Diagram menu.

      Tip

      You can also right-click the system and choose Open in System Designer.

  2. Select the endpoint you want to delete.

  3. On the Edit menu, choose Delete.

    Tip

    You can also press the DELETE key or right-click the endpoint and choose Delete.

    The definition of the endpoint you selected is deleted as well as any connections to it on the application diagram. References, connections, proxy endpoints, and delegations associated with the endpoint on open system diagrams are also deleted.
